LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

53. Heart Poetry

The day is getting late, the shopping center is increasingly crowded with visitors who have just arrived. Danira walked while pushing the stroller khalisa casually. His heart was still upset by the chaos created by Stevani. Moreover, hearing Stevani often called her a seductress, it made Danira growled. Although Danira has tried everything to be patient, but Danira is still a 20-year-old girl, sometimes her emotions also like to go up and down. Moreover, facing humans like Stevani and Gavino, it seems like Danira must start to change her patience stock.

Danira continued walking, until stopped in front of the lobby door, it turned out that outside the heavy rain, Danira pulled the cover of Stroller Khalisa, so as not to splash rain water. Danira pulls out her phone from inside the bag, opens an app to order a taxi online. But his finger stopped, when he heard the voice of someone familiar enough to call his name from the side.

" Sir.."

" Neng Danira ?". The man's Bass voice was getting closer to Danira, Danira turned to look for the origin of the voice, Danira was surprised to see who this man who had stood beside her was.

" It's true that Dira isn't it?". the man made sure again, He's afraid of the wrong people.

" Aa Ilham ?". Danira's great-granddaughter softly, then lowered her gaze again. Ilham smiled hearing Danira say her name.

" Thank God.apparently Aa is not the wrong person". Speak to Ilham while giggling.

" Neng Assalamualaikum ?".

" Neng how are you ?".

Aa misses Dira. Inspiration is only courageous in the heart.

" Waallaikumsalam, Thank God I am good and healthy Aa". Answer Danira gently. " Aa herself how's it going ? How can I be here ? shouldn't he still be in Cairo?". asked Danira.

" Thank God as Eneng saw today, still healthy and handsome right?". Inspiration is a little joking. Danira smiled behind her veil.

" Aa can be, he's handsome, Aa's a man. Beautiful is female". Danira laughed a little.

" Well, that's just you ". Praise Ilham while looking at Danira.

" Aamiin, beauty belongs to Allah only". Danira said.

" Yes yes, you're right ". Ilham just nodded at Danira's reply, because he knew Danira didn't like to be praised. The eyes of Ilham turned, looking at the cute baby who was looking at him from inside the stroller, the baby looked at the face of Ilham seriously. Ilham lowered his body, in order to get closer to Khalisa.

" Assalamualaikum son of Solehah, do you still know the same om?". Said Ilham, mendoel-noel cheeks puffed Khalisa, it makes Khalisa laugh crisp.

" Can you carry Khalisa neng?". Ilham asked Danira for permission.

" Yes please aa ".

Ilham raised Khalisa's plump body, then kissed the beautiful baby's cheek.

" God, Tabarakallah. You are very fast yes khali, the feeling of time om leave you still like sunbathing in the park". Temptation of Inspiration by chattering a smile to Khalisa. Khalisa replied by holding Ilham's cheek.

" Aa hasn't answered any questions yet, why can't I be here ?". Danira repeated her question again, still curious. Inspiration saw Danira and then smiled sweetly.

"Aa came home because she missed Abah and Umi, just now while on the road aa deliberately asked for a taxi to stop here, because she wanted to buy something ". Gavino held up 3 paper bags in his hand.

" in addition, I have other intentions". Respond to Inspiration with a smile that never fades in his lips.

" Other intentions ?".

" Yes, I really can't go home. But she could convince her teacher there, and complete all the tasks she gave her properly, so she allowed Aa to come home for only 1 week. Aa came home to ask Abah to preach someone who has always liked". Clearly Inspiration with eyes can not be separated to see Danira, the woman of his heart. Ilham felt very eager at this time to embrace the body of Danira, the woman who had always been in his prayer, the woman he was going to marry. But he knows, if all that he should not do because it is not halal for him.

Aa will be patient until Eneng halal aa touch, patient soon this woman in front of me will be rightfully mine. Inner Inspiration happy. He had imagined his happy days would be married to Danira.

" Thank God, congratulations Aa. I am happy to hear this good news, may good intentions be launched with Allah SWT". Danira said in a happy-sounding voice, it made Ilham more flowery, as if it was a sign that Danira was also happy with this desire.

" Did the woman also live in Abah aa boarding school ? How come Danira didn't know that she liked one of the women there all along ?".

That woman is you, not another woman. The Inner Inspiration again.

" Yes he also lives in the pesantren. Later also neng dira will know who is aa candidate".

" Mashaallah, that woman will be very lucky to be a wife later". Said Danira happy, it makes Ilham more wrong behavior.

" Aamiin, pray that the girl receives a proposal later yes neng, because aa can not be far from him too long". Inspiration spoke while looking at Danira more deeply and seriously, Danira who had earlier lowered her gaze, did not know how Ilham saw her with feelings.

" Must be willing to pray, and the girl can not resist the charm of aa Ilham not". Danira laughed softly.

Without them noticing from inside the mall, a pair of eyes observed their interaction sharply, the man's face was extremely sour. He really doesn't like to see the way Danira laughs with him. He walked quickly to them.

" Oh yes neng, aa to forget how neng Dira is here, not supposed to be there dipesantren?". asked Ilham, who forgot to ask why Danira was in Jakarta not in the village where her brother pesantren cottage.

" actually....!!".

Hechem...

Surely he will think no more of me, then begin to issue painful calumny again. O Allah, the pain of his words yesterday has not gone away, and now he has come again. Inner Danira began a restless dialogue.

Inspiration to see Gavino from top to bottom, he could conclude that this man is a person who beaked and rich, from his appearance alone is very visible, but his arrogance and arrogance are more plastered on his cold face. Ilham furrowed his forehead seeing the man standing too close, until Danira's shoulder almost stuck to the man's chest.

" I'm sorry who are you ?". Inspiration asked politely to Gavino. Gavino was still silent, with a flat face.

" Dira neng knows this man neng ?". Inspiration turned to ask Danira.

What neng Dira, shit.he has a favorite call apparently.inner Gavino grunt dislike.

" Hekmmm.introduce me Gavino Danira's husband". Gavino said with his baritone voice, reflecting his authority.

Inspiration frowned more and more deeply, it seemed like there was something wrong in his hearing.

" Neng..what does this man named Gavino say really ?". Ilham looked at Danira, waiting for a definite answer.

May this man only lie, say not neng, say if this man only lies.

" Didn't you want to answer Danira's question ?". Danira looked at Gavino, she piqued her lips.

" Yes Aa, this man is telling the truth. He's my husband, we were married almost 2 months ago". Danira answered honestly.

Deg*

Deg*

As if struck by lightning in the middle of the day, hearing the answer from the mouth of the idol of the heart, the heart of inspiration skipped a beat, his eyes reddened, his blood flowing more profusely, wishing all this was just his nightmare. While Gavino smiled thinly to the invisible, happy to hear Danira's answer.

" Is neng telling the truth?". asked Ilham once again, still in disbelief, Gavino quietly held back the upset in his heart seeing Ilham as if pretending not to hear. Danira was confused by the Inspiration question.

" Yes I said very honestly aa, we are married and who became our marriage guardian also Abah, if aa still not sure, aa can directly ask Abah only". Obviously Danira is soft.

Bum*

The heart of Inspiration seems bombed by circumstances, Inspiration does not believe if his brother could marry his girlfriend to another man. How can this all happen, Ilham thought in disbelief.

"Why can....!! why didn't neng tell aa that neng was getting married ?". The voice of Inspiration began to weaken, there was no more spirit that had been with him.

" Neng had asked Abah to deliver this news to aa, and Abah said he would call aa to tell him about it. Neng thought there was already know". explained Danira, he saw Ilham at a glance, can Danira concluded that Ilham was shocked to hear his marriage. Danira just thought it was just an expression of an older brother who felt disrespected by his sister getting married without telling the older brother.

" I'm sorry I neng aa.sorry for not telling aa, neng thought aa already know from Abah". Inspiration was silent, his mind was floating everywhere, his heart was completely broken. He doesn't know what else to say. What is clear now is that he must immediately meet Abah and ask the truth.

Gavino smashed his lips, uncomfortable at the call of the two of them. Cihh.neng, Aa what call it is. It's ridiculous. Inner Gavino scoffed.

" Is my wife's answer clear, if you understand. Now I want to take my wife and son home ". Gavino approached Ilham and took Khalisa in an Ilham sling. Ilham was just silent flinching while Danira, of course, was surprised to hear the words of Gavino who claimed to be his wife and son Khalisa, what Gavino his brain shifted a little because eating meat earlier.

Kalisa laughs happily held by Gavino, the baby as if hugging Gavino tightly, Gavino's eyes look at Danira.

" Will I come by our house first?". Danira bargained, it made Gavino glare at her eyes, Danira cuek as if she did not see.

" No neng, aa went straight home to the school. Aa wants to see Abah, ask this". Inspiration replied lethargic, Gavino just smiled a grin at the face of Ilham who was like blood loss.

" Thank God if you don't want ". Said Gavino, who made Danira widen her eyes, not believing Gavino's answer.

" Yes already.Then neng pamit go home first yes Aa. Greetings to Umi and Abah?".

" Yes neng, God willing, there will be a saying".

" Assalamualaikum.

" Outamaicumsalam"

"Come.." Take Gavino, he pulled Danira's hand into his hand, it makes Danira pegung, this is the first time Gavino held his hand after Ijab qobul they first. Gavino sees Danira who is silent in confusion.

"Let's love Khalisa who has been cold". said Gavino, Gavino's speech resuscitated Danira, then walked following Gavino's steps, into the car that had been waiting for them earlier in front of the lobby.

Seeing the hand of Danira who was held in love with other men, made the heart of Inspiration increasingly hot burning jealous.

" SO...".
